Quadbiking

in the Dunes around Swakopmund & Walvis Bay - Namibia

This is one of the best ways to access parts of the Swakopmund sand dunes that even 4x4's can't reach. There is a bit of controversy over the use of bikes in the sand dunes as it poses a threat to some of the rare animal species and plant life that make the sand dunes their homes. However, the legitimate companies that make quad biking in the dunes an adventure experience also make conserving their environment a priority.

They have set out a route that goes for about 35km in an area that's great to practice your wheelies on but causes little damage. There are two types of bikes you can choose from. For those who are a little unsure of their motorbiking prowess there are 160cc semi automatic bikes, while for those who wish to go hell for leather and have some idea of what they are doing there are 200cc manual quad bikes. The company offers great value for money, including transport, equipment, a bit of training and even throw in a drink or two.
